“I can’t be threatened by Zuma. I defeated Zuma. Jacob Zuma thought he buried me. He expelled me from the ANC for comparing him with Thabo Mbeki.
“I was expelled from the ANC by Zuma, and Ramaphosa was used as an instrument,” Malema said.”
Malema won’t back down from a fight
The Commander in Chief of the EFF further stated that he wasn’t going to back down from a fight, adding that he wasn’t scared of Zuma or those working with him.
“There’s no way anyone is going to threaten the existence of the EFF, and that person becomes a friend, it would be a lie,” he said.
South Africans weigh in on Malema’s comments

“This is exactly what we don't need. MK is not trying to fight the EFF. EFF members love the MK, and he's jealous. He must relax. It's business, it's not personal.”
@Nkosinathi_Gee added:
“Slowly isolating himself and fails to see the bigger picture of what needs to be done right now. EFF and MK have to work together and will possibly make more impact on the political scene. The EFF is worth 10% and reached its limits. Change is good; join MK.”

“Malema is hurt. Please, somebody, help him🤣🤞.”
@toxicprince_rsa said:
“Julius Malema is obviously hurt by uBaba. Therefore, he’s throwing tantrums in podcasts to look strong. Just give Ndlozi a higher rank.”
